The UN Says You Could Be A ‘Violent Extremist’ And Obama Agrees

Two days ago President Obama and the United Nations hosted a conference on “countering violent extremism” and our friend Patrick Poole covered it for PJ Media.

Poole reports that one of the keynote speakers at the CVE conference was Obama’s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who made a point of identifying the real enemies in Obama’s war on violent extremism: The Republican presidential candidates.

Johnson acknowledged that the government’s CVE efforts have focused on Muslim communities, but reports Poole, he pushed back against the idea that it zeroes in on the Islamic faith.

“Many people ask me, ‘Are you targeting Muslims? Why are you targeting Muslims?’” he said. “We’re not targeting a religion or even a specific group. We have a generic mission.”

But, he said, CVE efforts have focused on American Muslim communities because the Islamic State, which he called “probably the most dangerous terrorist organization that we face right now,” is targeting American Muslims.

“So we must respond in counter to that effort, as a matter of homeland security,” Johnson said.

The secretary also pushed back against “overheated rhetoric” on the Republican presidential campaign trail about banning Muslims from entering the United States or increasing police patrols and surveillance in Muslim communities.

“There is no one American Muslim community, contrary to some of the political dialogue you may hear,” he said. “There is not one neighborhood or ghetto or city that one could encircle or surveil.”

Johnson's remarks make clear that the administration's CVE programs are not targeting the Muslim community and that in his estimation the real culprits spreading violent extremism are the GOP presidential candidates and their supporters – in other words – you.

Poole notes that CVE efforts began in earnest in 2012, when U.S. Muslim groups demanded a "purge" of allegedly Islamophobic counter-terrorism trainers and curriculum. The White House quickly responded with a widespread "purge" across all federal agencies that eliminated all mention of Islam and Muslims from the U.S. counter-terrorism lexicon.

So it is remarkable, observed Poole, that the loudest voices now condemning the Obama administration's CVE programs, including the Soros-funded Article 19 and Charity and Security Network, are the same Muslim groups, academics, and far Left activists who demanded it in the first place.

Some of the helpful insights from the CVE Symposium speakers came from a panel that declared U.S. laws banning terrorist organizations hinder CVE efforts, observed Poole.

Patrick Poole’s report from the CVE Symposium demonstrates that Obama’s counter-terrorism strategy continues to be run by those who sympathize with the Committee for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Islamist front groups operating in America.

Their goal is to make our counter-terrorism strategy not one of countering Islam ad Islamism, but countering anyone who objects to Obama administration policy.

These are the same guys at the Department of Homeland Security who classified returning veterans of the Middle East wars potential “rightwing violent extremists.”

Something is bizarrely wrong in the Obama administration if groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority or oppose abortion can be named as terrorists, but the words Islamic, Islamist, Muslim, jihadi cannot be used in a program to “counter violent extremism.”

Establishment Republicans are not immune to this folly either. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul, and the rest of the Republicans on the Committee have taken this bait, hook, line and sinker.

The day before the Symposium, Muslim activists in Minneapolis -- where more than 25% of U.S. ISIS operatives have been recruited, and one of three cities where the White House launched local CVE programs -- held a press conference to denounce the Obama administration's CVE efforts.

Influenced by the Muslim-dominated UN and US Islamist front groups like CAIR, Obama, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman McCaul and the rest of the DC “smart set” have all too willingly embraced a foolish, perhaps fatal, politically correct description of who the enemy is in this war radical Islamists have declared on us – and it is not the Republican presidential candidates and returning American veterans of the wars to defend this country against Islamism.

Well I haven't been Violent since I left Nam, but I certainly am an EXTREMIST when it comes to getting this nation back to a Conservative track. Yet Unlike the Muslims they are defending, None of our Veterans go around mutilating babies or Children or raping and torturing women.

If those clowns are to concerned about me and fellow Vets, perhaps they need to move their asses back to the hell hole they left.

AND take Jeh Johnson with them. As far as Obozo is concerned , we need to return him to his Kenyan Village, as soon as he stops playing monopoly with our economy.

WHAT THE? HOLY CRAP OUR GOV PEEPS ARE ALL GUILTY AND OUT OF THEIR MINDS! HAVE THEY ALL BEEN INDOCTRINATED BY OBAMA MUSLIM PEEPS THAT HE HIMSELF PUT IN OUR WHITE HOUSE, WOW! THEIR AGENDA IS MOVING FORWARD MORE AND MORE ON "OUR" HOME LAND, THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND NOW BEFORE THEY TOTALLY TAKE OVER BY OUR NOW WEAK MINDED ANTI AMERICAN POLITICIANS THAT ARE IN OUR WHITE HOUSE! THIS "IS" AMERICA, OUR LAND, OUR LAWS, OUR PEOPLE MATTER, PERIOD!

The only terrorists that I can see is President Obama and his cabinet full of Muslims. I am a Vietnam veteran and all I see in the media is that Israel is the bad guy and Muslims are misunderstood. Bullshit! Most of the terrorists in the world today are Muslim and the so called moderate Muslims stand by and do or say nothing.

The New American magazine has done lots of excellent pioneering work in how this war on "Extremism" is actually a war on conservatives and people who love liberty/Constitution. Go to their website they have lots of great stories on it going back years.

The New American magazine is the official publication of the John Birch Society. You can also find information on the Islamist infiltration of the Obama CVE effort through this link to the Center for Security Policy's work on the topichttp://tinyurl.com/qg4m2tj

The Obamanation is a lying muslim sympathizer and the UN are self-deluded fools. The false religion of islam itself IS the problem as it teaches the murder of unbelievers as a way to try to get to heaven. It also teaches the murder of apostates so once you are in, if you want out, they kill you. A large recent survey in muslim countries demonstrated wide support for the killing of those who try to abandon this unholy religion. Until people wise up and realize that ALL muslims are potential terrorists because of the tenets of the religion they have foolishly chosen to follow we all remain at risk. The muslims are already taking advantage of such naivete in the courts and political arena to gain an advantage and try to take over the west bit by bit.
